Knitting for Olive | North Sea Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
The North Sea Dress brings together the cosy feel of a classic winter knit with the elegant detail of cables running down the front. The skirt has a little extra width for an easy, flowing silhouette, while the timeless construction makes it a versatile cold-weather favourite.
Our North Sea Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack is suitable for the 3-6 months pattern sizes and includes 3 balls of Heavy Merino and a digital pattern. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.

The sample is in Heavy Merino in the Dusty Honey colourway.
The dress is knitted seamlessly from the top down in the round using a single strand of Heavy Merino. Short rows shape the neckline before the yoke is worked with raglan increases. As the yoke takes shape, the decorative cable pattern is worked across the front using the included chart.
At the underarms, the sleeves are separated from the body and continued in the round in stockinette stitch. Ribbing provides a neat finish at the neckline, cuffs and lower edge of the dress.
The North Sea Dress has a coordinating sister pattern, the North Sea Sweater, offering the same cable detailing in a shorter silhouette.
